There are many subjects that might be addressed in a blog posting. However important or interesting they might be, I am postponing them in favor of the following message. It is very important. Please read it, and as I frequently ask you, please forward it to others, many others!

In Regard to the Upcoming Election, Only a Few Weeks Away:
·
If you support the right of
a woman to choose to have an abortion, or
·
If you support increased gun
control measures to reduce the frequency of mass murders, or
·
If you support a broadening,
not a narrowing, of access to voting for all Americans, regardless of race or
ethnicity,
In Florida, your choice is a
simple one. Governor DeSantis, Senator Rubio, and almost all Republican
legislators in Congress and State legislatures OPPOSE these things.
Democrats, like Val Demings and
Charlie Crist SUPPORT them.
(And if you are not a Florida voter, the same kinds of simple choices will be on your ballot in your State.)
That is why you should only vote
for Democrats and get your like-minded friends and relatives to do the same. Please remember
that a vote for any Republican
who does not denounce the defeated former president, in any election
whatsoever, is actually a vote for the replacement of democracy with the
authoritarian rule he represents.
In addition, you should make a
commitment to personally work hard to bring about the election victories on
November 8 that are necessary to help democracy survive in the United States of
America. Your help is sorely needed. Without your efforts, these
victories just will not happen, and democracy will suffer.
It comes down
to:
·
Registering
voters,
·
Making
telephone calls,
·
Sending
emails,
·
Writing
postal cards,
·
Knocking
on doors.
Here
is some contact information to help you do these essential things:
activateamerica.vote …. Visit this website to connect with national phonebanks, email, and postal card writing campaigns keyed to crucial races.
Palm Beach County Democratic
Party - 561 562 8102 (sign up for local programs in
which you can participate.) Elsewhere,
just call your local Democratic Party.
Palm Beach County Supervisor of
Elections - 561 656 6200 (for registration
and voting location information). Elsewhere, just call your local Supervisor of
Elections.
The websites of candidates such
as Val Demings and Charlie Crist both offer the opportunity to make donations
to pay for their campaigns. TV ads and
signs are not inexpensive.
Get to work now. Don’t put it off until tomorrow. Too much is at stake. I’ve given you all the contacts you need.
Democracy depends on you!

America Afloat

America Afloat
Jack Lippman
The greatness of America
Is
that it does survive
Attacks
upon democracy
Whose
flame it keeps alive.
The
laws that blossom from the words
The
Founding Fathers wrote
Still
serve us well today to keep
America
afloat.
This
doesn’t happen by itself,
We
cannot wish it true,
The
bottom line, my friends, is that
It
all depends on you.
